[Pathfinder][OOC] Hall of the Dwarven Lord

[Theroc]

I'm slightly confused.

Are we selecting races and such from the True-20 too?

The Psychic Wolves sound interesting, but I found nowhere to get more info to figure out what the heck they are.

Also, what roles are occupied at the moment, and what do we need?

[Walking Dad]

No, it the beta is for the Blue Rose Campaign. We use the D&D standard races. In which are you interested? I can post them here.

@HolyMan: Wait with the copy until I'm finished

[HolyMan]

Copy that WD

[Theroc]

Um... I'm not sure yet, my race choices usually depend on what class I am taking.

What classes are available/taken, so I know where the gaps are?

[Leif]

My character: Rayverim Thanderghast, Human Warrior.

[HolyMan]

And I am Brawar human Wizard.

[Walking Dad]

So, we would need an expert (rogue) and a cleric (adept with healing powers).

If we should get short on players, it would be possible to combine the wizard and the cleric (if HolyMan doesn't mind).

WD, is there a way to make a Druid-y type healer guy?

[Leif]

HM, I can take some of the burden of spell-casting, if you want. I'd better wait a bit, though, since I'm our front-line Warrior, but if/when we make L3, I can branch out into healer, as well, that'll help take some of the pressure of of you, maybe. Or, since clerics are your "faves," maybe I could just take on some of the other Arcanist role and leave the healing to you? Or, maybe I should just shut up and swing my axe????

[HolyMan]

If you keep swinging I promise more than a few bull's str/enlarge/bless combos coming your way. If that is possible in true20 I have only gone over characters hmmm haven't seen a spell list


HM

[Leif]

Ok, we can work it that way, too.

Just making sure Holyman and Leif saw me posting interest in being a Druid-y type HEALER guy... so they don't go and multiclass to cover the role.

Unless they WANT to be backup-healz.

The system is very free. There is only one 'magic' class. The adept. You just choose the powers you like (with DM consent). Also all classes gain a core ability. The standard for fighter is a kind of second wind in combat. For the adept to use a 'unknown' power. both cost one conviction / action point.

I could change this ability to something like a light wildshape for a druid or a turn undead for the cleric.


You need not to take two different adept roles. I would just allow more different powers.

Here are some sample powers:

Spoiler:

Cure
Fatiguing
You can heal injuries by touch. With a full-round action, you can grant a subject an immediate recovery check using your Cure check result in place of their Constitution check. If the recovery check fails, you must wait the normal recovery time for that condition or expend a level of fatigue before trying again. You can stabilize a dying character with a Difficulty 10 Cure check.
You can use Cure on yourself. You can’t cure your own staggered or unconscious conditions or stabilize yourself while dying, since you have to be conscious and able to take a full-round action to use Cure. You can use Cure on your own disabled conditions, but doing so is a strenuous action. If your recovery check is successful, you suffer no ill effects. If it is not, however, your condition worsens to dying.
Try Again: See above. Otherwise you can retry freely.
Time: Cure is a full-round action.

Elemental Blast
Fatiguing
Prerequisite: Cold, Earth, Energy, Fire, Water, or Wind Shaping
Your can strike a foe with a focused blast of elemental force. Your Elemental Blast is a normal ranged attack with a range increment of adept level x 10 feet and a maximum range of ten increments (adept level x 100 feet).
An Elemental Blast has a damage bonus equal to your adept level. Water and Wind Shaping strikes inflict non-lethal damage. If you have Weather Shaping, you can call lightning from storm clouds as an Elemental Blast. If you apply the Widen Power feat to an Elemental Blast, it affects all targets within a radius of adept level x 2 feet from the target point. Targets of a Widened Elemental Blast can make a Reflex saving throw. If successful, the blast only inflicts half damage on that target.
Time: Standard action.

Enhance Ability
Fatiguing
You can improve your Strength or Dexterity for a short time. A successful Enhance Ability check adds a bonus to either your Strength or Dexterity score for 1 minute (10 rounds). The result of the check indicates the amount of the bonus. If desired, you can split a bonus of +2 or greater between Strength and Dexterity.
Enhance Ability

Difficulty Bonus
15 +1
20 +2
25 +3
30 +4
35 +5

Time: Enhance Ability is a standard action. The bonus lasts 10 rounds (1 minute). If you take 20 when making this check, you spend 2 minutes and suffer a +20 increase in the fatigue Difficulty.

Enhance Other
Fatiguing
This works like Enhance Ability, except you can enhance others’ abilities by touch, and cannot enhance your own abilities with it.
Special: The subject of this power must also make a Fortitude saving throw against fatigue (same Difficulty as the adept) when its duration runs out, to represent the strain placed on the subject’s body.

Hm... sounds good. If I seem very dense, it's because I really have little experience with this system/this game's Character generation rules.

How do the stats work in True20 exactly? Like, do we roll a six sider for out stats or something, rather than the usual system where 18=+4?

It uses a point buy system:

HolyMan did it correct:

check my stats WD did I do this right

STR: 10
DEX: 14 +2
CON: 12 +1
INT: 16 +3
WIS: 10
CHA: 10

so in true20 its STR:0 DEX:+2,CON:+1,INT:+3,WIS:0,CHA:0

thats unless someone else wants the wizard I can roleplay anything

[Theroc]

I'll try to get some of the basics down in the next day or so.

[Leif]

Just so you know, Theroc, I'm perfectly happy just being the party meat-shield in this game!

[Walking Dad]

Are the new rules to much? We could re-start just after meeting the wizard and make the small hop to Pathfinder Rules:
Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Reference Document

[HolyMan]

Pathfinder sounds way kool i have a cleric (of course in another game) the orisons rule is very kool

I thought this thread was dead because you were starting the Dark Sun thing you want us to play this or re-group over there and help out??
